Hey all

know anyone who's selling there ceffy that's had a fair bit of work done? My mAte really wants one and plans on drifting it asWell.

Want something with a few modifactions and is somewhat tidy

MUST be rego'ed

cheers Keith

Why do I get the feeling you wrote yours off or something... ?

Tidy

Registered

Modified

Good luck.

Speak to Banger...he always has atleast one for sale....he did have THREE for sale at one point in time.

And if your mate wants to be a fully sikh drifter why can't he build one / do mods himself ? Drifting isnt a community for noobs.

yeah such a product does not exist in perth. Mine sorta fits your criteria but there's no way im selling it to your mate.

Kristian from ironchef has an rb25det cefiro ready to drift 88 mnp coloured one for sale 10,500 get in touch with him.

Haha na my ceff still in one piece engineless at my workshop tho. Currently deciding what engine to put back in.

Rowan me and my friend have allready come and looked at yours if you remember. And not inflate your ego it was a bit tidy and it would be a crime to track a car that straight.

Rather buy one allready half done as to save cost.

I kinda take offence being called a noob. I'm asking who's selling what not what is a cefiro :S

anyways thanks Rowan for information will look it up

Already looked at bangers for sale asking too much for what it is.

Isnt Banger's only 11k?

Perth:

Track only/B Class Rego Cefiro, $3000 - $5000

Cefiro registered, or registerable, $5000 - $10'000 (stock standard or minimal modifications)

High Performance Cefiro (ie RB25DET + Basics) $10'000 - $17'000 (even over Eastern States)

Borneo's old Cefiro, $30'000

^^^^

As much as I don't like Nick, based on the small number of experiences I've had with him, I would call his prices on both parts, and cars "average/competitive".

Not really.....Borneo's old Cefiro sold with such a high price tag, purely for title.

Buy a Cefiro, 10k

strip it out, $free, make cash back on parts

Build RB30DET, $5-7k ?

Other mods, suspension, brakes, etc, $10k?

That's still not a straight chassis, half the panels weren't straight.

It's registerable, but barely, the amount of cash you'd have to poor in, and parts you'd have to pull out.....you'd be far better off just buying a shitter and building it up yourself.

dry sump set-up isn't cheap, nor is quality coilovers, diff, quality turbo set-up, intake & exhaust manifolds, injectors etc etc. 5-7k would hardly cover the short motor in trewhellas RB.

But i can't imagine the shell would have been in very good condition.

A cefiro for 10k gets you coilovers on the rag, a sloppy 2 way, china camber arms,toe arms etc half arsed manual conversion... etc etc etc etc............

Cefiro's simply are not a loved car, for every person that loves theirs', there is 20 people that hammer theirs.

I looked at a cefiro a few months ago that looked absolutely mint, with a poultry price tag to boot... thankfully i have some idea what to look for, turned out the it had some form of front end smash and had the rail jammed into the firewall.. pretty sure this car is back on ebay but being sold by a different owner, and with the price twice what was previously being asked.

Goodluck buddy, you'll need it!

Half of that was paid for by sponsors.....Borneo of all people actuall ran K-Sport coilovers. Alot of other shit, like intake, exhaust, etc was done by the man himself. You can put a price on that, but I'd say well over $100'000 was thrown at that car over the years. Start from scratch, and build to purpose. A Cefiro with a basic RB30DET with mods can be had for WELL under the price tag on Borneo's 700+ HP Cefiro, and there is no way Keith's mate is going to NEED that kind of power setup on a street registered car.

Is the Cefiro you mention the one on eBay right now ? gunmetal gray, Uras kit, Black Drifteks....?

Edited by Nic_A31

Yes it was well over done, given that it was one of the most expensive cars in the DA field and very rarely placed well.

Yep the one on ebay now. could be wrong, but its same colour, has teins, Uras kit etc etc etc just as it did when it was previously for sale.

    • What is the current snail?
    • Never an issue with boost control. No weird boost issues pre throttle at partial throttle like you're suggesting. It worked.   As for all the turbo damage claims, they all were started by aftermarket BOV companies. At least turbo timer companies had SOME truth about them, except people failed to realise that except for in extreme circumstances, that small amount of driving you do to park/ through pit lane etc, is enough to not have a need for a turbo timer.
    • I tell people all the time this stuff runs on a 2 MHz 8-bit MCU. The math is a bit arcane, they do a lot to get around their limited resolution and so on but it works great as-shipped. So if an 80 to 160 MHz modern 32-bit MCU can't make it work you've really screwed something up badly. Your average graphing calculator is faster these days, god forbid we start talking about what's hiding in vapes or some stupid internet-connected "smart appliance".  I suspect the lore about off-throttle surge damaging turbos must be very, very old if it was ever true. I still don't think off throttle surge is good for turbos because you're rapidly having air going in and out of the turbo on top of rapid loss in shaft speed which presumably does impart some kind of unusual load on the rotating assembly. As for the recirculating valve, I believe Nissan actually in a press slide deck of some kind explained for the RZ34 they found it improved response. Prior to that they kept the throttle cracked open instead which causes rev hang and because the throttle/engine is a substantial restriction a ton of the energy in the air stream is lost just to pumping past it. Recirculating helps reduce energy loss by bringing the intake side of the compressor up in pressure so it's not working as hard to pull air in. In DCT cars where they can slam gears I believe Porsche hangs the throttle wide open with no fuel injection to keep turbo RPMs as high as possible during the shift. As for running post-throttle boost source, I would be concerned that at partial throttle on boost you would have driveability issues. It would be constantly trying to run crazy amounts of boost before the throttle to compensate for the throttling effect. Maybe with a much more sophisticated boost control setup you could activate a solenoid that goes from a conventional 3-port setup to something that allows the wastegates to see full vacuum in that specific case? 
    • Did you clean everything out? Take all intercooler piping off, empty the intercooler of oil, clean the exhaust out, etc? Intercoolers make great catch cans... Which makes them less useful for intercooling... But very worth cleaning out, along with all adjoining piping.
    • Update Got turbo back from hypergear, installed everything etc. Bled coolant, wasn't smoking so I thought beauty she's sorted now. Went on a drive, car up to temp, let it idle for about 15 seconds, gave it some gas...nice puff of smoke again. Fml No doubt my turbo was pretty worn anyway but nonetheless frustrating that the problem persists.
